AMENDMENT 0002

The SOLICITATION is amended as follows:

NOTE: Deleted text is shown in RED with strikethrough. Added text is shown in GREEN with underline.

1. CONTRACTING:

Replace the Quick Add Key for Amendment 0002 : X79Q3J-WTJYV8 Added Supplemental Bid Schedule CLIN 0002 changed to Option CLIN

2. SPECIFICATIONS:

Updated 01 35 13 by adding paragraph 3.4 titled "Crack Repair Procedure Using Hole-Drilling"

FIELD DIRECTIONS FOR REPAIR OF CRACKS USING HOLE-DRILLING:

1. Locate the crack tips via Dye Penetrant Testing (DPT) or Magnetic Particle Testing (MPT).

2. Using a broach drill with a magnetic base and a carbide-tipped hole saw drill bit, drill a hole in the steel material 2 to 4 inches in diameter at or beyond the crack tip. Hole size and location shall be determined by the Contractor's Engineer.

The inside surface of the hole should be ground smooth, preferably with a flapper wheel. Obviously, appropriate checks on the net section capacity of the member should be made by the Contractor's engineer and submitted to the COR for review and approval prior to hole drilling.

3. If directed by the Contractor's Engineer and approved by the COR, properly tension a high-strength bolt in the hole. Refer to the Research Council on Structural Connections (RCSC) Specification for Structural Joints Using ASTM A325 or A490 Bolts, latest edition, for detailed procedures regarding bolt tensioning. The latest edition of the Structural Bolting Handbook published by the Steel Structures Technology Center is a useful field reference as well.

4. In cases where the hole is being used as an out-of-plane distortion retrofit, a bolt should not be placed in the hole as it will have a tendency to stiffen the plate, which will reduce the effectiveness of the retrofit.

5. A hole by itself can conservatively be considered a Category D detail, which may be acceptable depending on the expected stress ranges and number of cycles at the hole location. By properly tensioning a high-strength bolt in the hole it can be improved to a Category B detail. The need for a high-strength bolt in holes drilled for crack arrest repairs should be determined by the Contractor Engineer's review of the project-specific conditions and approved by the Government.
